Press Reviews "The antidote for those of us who have had it up to here with today's stagnant hip-hop atmosphere. Musically this trio is all about bringing the glory days of hip-hop full circle, as they reach out to the purest of B-Boys and B-Girls of the world. If you have been sleeping, it is time to wake up, because the MB's have indeed arrived." -- Rapsheet "An album for the hip-hop purists." "When an album is classic, I don't like to waste words. This album is fresh, top to bottom. Definitely one of the best albums of the year." -- www.krib.com
